I understand there are still 503b options, I just want some others opinions on if it would be better to just switch to 503a now after BPI is no longer an option. Hate to go to another pharmacy that just shuts down in a few months. If so, what’s everyone’s favorite 503a?
I've read such good things about Lavender Sky Health from everyone here, but boy, is the website confusing as far as exactly how their service works -- little bits of information that you need are spread out over different pages, but there doesn't really seem to be a good overall summary of how the service works? I've been all over "Get Started" and "FAQs" and "Pre-Patient Guide" pages, but can someone tell me how the process is supposed to go & how much we can expect to pay overall? I just tried calling their number and there was nobody there.
Some questions. If you can provide your own summary, or give me feedback on what I'm guessing below, or can answer even just one question, it would be wonderful:
Phone vs E: First, what is the main difference between a phone consult and an e-consult? Are you filling out the same basic form first, and then on the phone you can ask questions and go back and forth? While with an e-consult, they just take what you've written and go with that?
Step 1 - Initial Consult: So, you need to start with a consult that costs $65? And then once approved & chosen your pharmacy, pay for your medicine?
Step 2 - Ordering Refills & Required Follow-Up Consults: When 1st order is running out and you need a refill:
A) If it's your first dose for a new med, you need to have follow-up consult that costs $45 in order to order a refill?
B) If you need a refill and it's not your first dose/not new med, you can just place an order to refill? How do you do this -- do you contact Lavender Sky Health or pharmacy?
But what does this mean (from Pre-Patient Guide under "Follow-Up Consults"): "If you had already been on the medication prior to starting with us and provided documentation of your prior prescription, you will be eligible for refill only until your 6 month follow-up is due."
Please help a newbie out. Thank you so much, everybody!
Curious to know if any one here uses Lavendar Sky for maintenance and what's been your experience? As I am currently in maintenance with another telehealth but thinking of switching over to Lavendar Sky later this year.
Any info. you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!
